OVERVIEW
The ACU-Z1 combines modern technology with JPS’ two decades of experience as the industry leader in communications interoperability. Modular, 2U high, fully IP centric, and loaded with the capable radio interface features you have come to expect from JPS, the ACU-Z1 can interface just about every type of voice communication system.
The modern user interface, along with the convenient local handset, twelve plug-in modules for local connections, and up to 24 virtual IP-based resources make it easy for an operator to create and disband communication nets, monitor resources, record nets, and perform light dispatch operations.
DISPATCH + MONITOR
The ACU-Z1’s intuitive browser-based GUI allows an operator to expand or minimize the dispatch and monitor areas. Operators can employ these dedicated zones to create mini-dispatch stations for on-the-fly one-way or two-way communications. Since any configured resource can be designated as the dispatcher by the operator, the system provides a high level of flexibility.
Separate from dispatch, monitor nets provide another unique feature. Any resource configured on the system can be designated a monitor and can listen to audio from any number of other resources on the system.
NETWORK CENTRIC
The ACU-Z1’s network-focused design allows straightforward integration of other JPS gateways, such as the RSP-Z2, the NXU-2B, or even other ACU-Z1s. Creating these wide area systems does not tie up any modules on the controlling ACU-Z1, with all input from these communications devices coming in via IP to the CPM module. Whether connected devices are IP-based or locally configured, the ACU-Z1 manages them efficiently. Radio/IP passthroughs and simplified external recorder configuration provide additional options.
APPLICATIONS
When the situation is critical, your team needs seamless interoperability. The ACU-Z1 provides a true IP-centric gateway to digitally converge existing radio systems with each other as well as with landline and SIP telephones, smartphones, and other devices.
An ACU-Z1 can function as the controller for a wide-area system that includes the devices connected locally at the unit as well as multiple remote devices. Devices that are not natively IP can be brought in through other ACU-Z1 gateways, the dual-channel RSP-Z2, or NXU devices. Interoperability Nets involving these resources are created using the highly scalable web-based GUI on the controlling ACU-Z1.
